The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not
ride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanisms are devised to enable them to
do SO. But the more delicate chronom-
eter is made the more subject 1t becomes
to arrangement, and unless it be kept al
ways perfectly clean, it soon loses its use
fitness. What wonder, then, that the hu-
man machine-so much more delicate and
intricate than any work of man-should
require to be kept thoroughly cleansed.
The liver is the handspring of this COM
plex structure, and on the impurities left
in the blood by disordered liver, depend
most of the ills that flesh is heir to. Even
consumption (Which is lung -scrofula), is
traceable to the imperfect action of this
organ. Kidney diseases, skin diseases,
sick headache, heart disease, dropsy, and
a long catalogue of grave maladies. have
their origin in torpid, or sluggish, liver

of the liver, acts as cure and preventive
of these diseases.

CONSPIRACY
Deep Laid Plot of Republican
Leaders to Destroy the South.
ern Democracy's Power.
Prohibition and the Tariff to Be
Used as Instruments for
that Purpose.

New YORK, May An Atlanta special to the
World says for some time strange Tumors have
been current in political circles in the south of
movements which would give an entirely new
phase to present patty allignments. Prominent
republican leaders have been visiting each other
and making trips to the north, where they have
met men still higher in party leadershipe.
Several months ago one of the best known re-
publican leaders of this section made an alleged
western trip. Five days later letter was re-
ceived by FRIEND dated Augusta, Maine, VIII CHI
advertentlv allowed it to be seen. He
said it would not do for our scheme to become
known yet, but we intend to throw the democrats
by move which will leave them breathless. Jim
Blaine is the man who has the dash to make it sue
cessful. If we get 1t into shape New York may go
to the Winds for we shall carry the general election
in spite of her. In vain was he pressed for further
explanation. He would only say: wait, andyou
will see"
1t was just after this that Mr. Sherman made his
southern tour, tarrying with Malone on his way
down, and complimenting GOV. Taylor, of Tennes-
see, on his way back. Then, as further
preparation for events to come, w. d.
Kelly, of Pennsylvania, congressman, has been
spending the winter in Alabama. He was there
when congress opened, and fastened back when
congress adjourned. His speech in Rome, Ga
one week ago, was a clever appeal to democratic
audience A distinguished republican went thither
to hear him, and kind of political love feast was
held.
Yesterday the correspondent of the World had q
long conversation with o republican of the wides
reputation, who is always invited to national con
sultations In that conversation the whole
scheme of political manoeuvering in the soutf
was made plain. He said: SIT has beer
slowly dawning upon the republican leaders tina
the elections can no longer be carried on sectiona
issues. 1t is hardly possible that we could rally
the Irish as we did in the last campaign. Now
the plan is to strike for the south. Leading south
ern republican leaders have taken to the idea ant
insist that in this move lies the salvation of the

the prohibition issue, There are democrats IL

There are others who loath Senator Brown be

A TRUE WOMAN.
Faithful to Her Lover in the Penitentiary
for Eighteen Years.


NASHVILLE May 7.-Eighteen years ago the
doors of the state prison closed upon Frank Rid
die, of Maury county, who had been sentenced to
life imprisonment for numbering German ped
Riddle who, refusing to acknowledge the
crime, and accept term of fifteen
years, insisted upon plea of
not guilty. and the trial resulted in his conviction,
and the defendant appealed to the supreme court,
which granted new hearing. The second verdict
against Riddle was life sentence, and he was sent
to the penitentiary. Year after year passed. one
after another of life convicts died and Riddle al
most abandoned all hope of obtaining his freedom.
While Governor Taylor was seated in his Office
yesterday a woman walked into the apart
ment and presented to the governor a petition for
executive clemency, signed by the lessees and
overy officer of the prison. who stated that Riddle 3
long incarceration served the ends of justice.
Accompanying the petition was letter written by
the woman who bore it. After the governor had
read the documents the lady rose, and, addressing
him, said:
'Governor Taylor, when that man was accused
of the murder, was engaged TO be
married to him. 1 did not believe him
quietly and did not break the engagement during
two or three years that the trial was pending.

and loved him through all these long weary years,
and want you to pardon him. / do not ask you
to think him an innocent man. For the sake OF
two lives that may yet be happy, implore you to
set him free"
Without waiting to hear the governors decision
she arose and lett the office and the capital When
the governor had cleared his eyes of the tears he
said to Bishop Granberr: "Such devotion ant
constancy have never seen anywhere. Whatever
Riddle may have deserved, 1t does look as ii tina

The Deal Again.

NEW York, May The interests of the Balti-
more Ohio deal will be revived by the story that
a meeting of the Baltimore Il Ohio directors will
soon be held, at which the resignation of several
of the present directors will be received and their
places illed by members chosen by the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton, Dayton, Lake Erie & Western,
and Richmond Terminal companies. There is
some hitch in regard to the Louisville, New Alba
ny q Chicago and another road joining the system,
but aside of this the plan lie said to be complete
for the use of the Baltomore s. Ohio as throu Oh
line to Philadelphia, and thence to New York, as
soon as stations can be built.
Several directors of the roads named have been
questioned in regard to the story and they admit 1t
is practically true, but that minor details have not
yet been arranged
1t is reported that Samuel Thomas, Henry Sives,

THE GREAT MINE DISASTER.
Nearly 100 Lives Lost-Widows and $50
Orphans Result.

VICTORIA, B. c., May THE wires were down
yesterday between British Columbia and the south.
Last night kilograms from various correspondents
stated that the latest investigation shows lOl white
men we're in the mine at the time of the explo-
zion, and rs Cinnamon. At O'Clock the body of
Michael Lyons was found in level No. roo yards
from the shaft. The Victoria city council appro-
priated $1,000 to aid in the rescue of the miners.
After strict inquiry it is learned there are forty
seven Widows most of whom have large families.
The Cinnamon met to night and made arrange.
ments for buryiDg their countrymen. Some of
them refused this morning to place their dead in
collins, and had to be compelled by force to do 30.
The stores still continue to be closed
and little business is being done. Most of the men
are from Cornwall, Yorkshire and Wales, and
few are from Nova Scotia. The fearful character
Of the explosion cannot be exaggerated Over 100
children, orphans, have already been counted.
At p. m. the progress of subduing the flames
was proceeding rapidly, and it is thought all danger
of a second explosion is now over. When the ex-
ploring party yesterday broke through into the
level where the explosion occurred, they discov-
cred dead bodies lying in all directions. All hope
is now given up of saving any of them. Thirty
five bodies have been recovered thus far. The fire
is still burning, but 1t is under control.

SHOOTING OF AN INDIAN,
And What Followed in Frontier
Town---A Marrow Escape.

GALLUP, N. NJ, May AT Defiance station,
seven miles west of here dispute arose In a store
between E. Y. Allen, clerk, and Navajo Indian.
The latter sprang over TO grasp pistol. Allen
shot the Indian dead Mr.. Borland, owner OF the
store, and his wife started for Gallup at once on
horseback, but had not gone far when they were
surrounded by Indians, armed with rifles and pis-
tolls, who accused Boreland of killing the Indian,
and threatened to kill him and his wife on the spot
The Indians were wild with excitement, but Mr..
Boreland succeeded in Quieting them by giving up
his weapons, saving he had nothing TO do
with the killing Finally he and his wife were per-
mitted to continue their journey to Gallup.
Meantime Allen and an old man named Hans,
bsrricaded the upper story of the building, to
defend themselves from attack. The Indians broke
into the store and ried it of everything valuable.
An hour after the shooting freight train on the
Atlantic Is Pacific road passed, and Hans and
Allen ran for it under heavy fire from the lndians.
Allen made the train and came to Gallup. Hans
missed the train but also came to Gallup. de-
